Cool Caribbean Maan!

Hey Guys!
Are there any PPruners hanging out in the islands? If so, how about a little info on the job market, who's doing what to who, and how can we all join you?
All the best, Max.

C'mon Guys,
Any ground based jobs going in the Islands?
Turks & Caicos, Caymans or Bahamas? Somewhere warm. Experienced on DHC-6, BN2A, Cessna Singles and Navajos.
Best regards, Max.

Max,

From a South Fla viewpoint, check www.climbto350.com. There was an ad recently for Cape Air. They want C-402 drivers for the islands.

Good Luck.

St. Thomas Air always need pilots.
I worked there some 15 years ago when it was called Virgin Air.
Yes, Cape Air also recruiting, they have several bases down there, one if them is STX.
(St. Croix, US Virgin Islands)
Should be plenty of other jobs there as well, but the weather is so nice and so much to do..Sailing and diving and such, that one grows lazy and would rather not work at all.

I spent 3 years in Alaska and 3 years in the Islands, and many other guys did the same.
Some of them flew Alaska in the summer and the Islands in the winter.

I had 7 different jobs in the Virgin Island/Puerto Rico area, but most of those companies are out of bussines:

Aero Virgin Island, Virgin Islands International Airways, Sea-Jet, Southern Flyer, Eastern Metro Express and Virgin Air.

Sure would do it again, it was fun.

Well, I'm still here in the "North Country", and starting to worry about winter. Occasionally, I'll try on my mask, snorkel and fins, but look stupid, wandering around the house like that, so getting back to my original pleading, where are all the aircraft maintenance jobs?
Come on, all you Pilot Dudes, help me out!
Best regards, Max

Based on St. Croix is Seaborne Adventures, flying DHC-6's on floats.

Helo company on St. Thomas is Air Center Helicopters. Their main base in Ft. Worth. I believe they are hiring for the winter season.

Both of above companies have web sites.

Fly safe!

Hi flufdriver,
Do Island Air have any openings for technicians advertised? How can I contact them, and who would I speak to?
Regards, Max
